Default Trouble turning off Traction Control!

1. Traction Control doesn't turn off "consistently" on my 2016 GT Automatic! Go over the exact process to turn it "completely off" for me! Thanx in Advance!

2. Will really big tires such as 300 to 325 keep the Traction Control off as I get more traction in the rear! It seems it should! I don't want to change the wheels & tires unless it "actually' works!

It is important to note that the accelerator pedal is more like a rheostat than a toggle switch.

its actually dual rheostats, opposite each other for redundant diagnostics.

You guys are hilarious with adolescent humor, but of zero help with the same lack of sensible remarks as in the Politics Section! Ha Ha Ha! DUH! Brilliant retorts you ******! If I get a knowledgeable answer I'll stop asking the same question! Now go giggle... & let someone else answer the question!

Using the regular methods my traction control only partly shuts off. When I 1st got the car it seemed to completely shut off for a while. It seems like the T.C. learned to "partially" shut off! I've heard others say that T.C. doesn't completely shut off with automatics.
